Dan Kgothule, former Sports MEC in the Free State along with two other ANC members, Mokotso Mokotso and Mongi Ntwanambi, took the ANC to the South Gauteng High Court to seek an urgent application to declare the ANC’s Provincial list from the Free State as illegitimate.
Judge Thusi Mngqibisa heard the matter on Tuesday, 23 April and delivered a judgement on Wednesday 24 April. According to Mngqibisa, the “urgency is self-created”. The matter was struck the matter off the roll with costs to the applicants. When the list was finalised and submitted to the IEC without their concerns being addressed, they then “engaged their attorneys” and “went from one senior counsel to another” to get proper representation until now, said Albertus.
Semenya referred to the ANC Code of conduct that states that it is the duty of party “to accept the final list as rectified by the NEC” and that there are procedures in place for recalling Members of Parliament or the Provincial Legislature which the trio can use after elections.Once you are not on the list for the Member of Parliament or Member of the Provincial Legislature, you can still challenge that after elections,” said Semenya.
